Great read
I've had an account with DeCarley for about a year, and I enjoy the emails I get every week with her analysis and market updates. Hence, I bought the book. And I read it all in 2 days. I'm an experienced options trader, so even though a lot of things in the book are not new to me, I found it informative. Most trading books tend to be written in a dry, dull, academic style, but Carley has her unique, easy-going, conversational style and that makes this book very readable. I was nodding my head in agreement when I was reading the section on synthetic options (pages 235-241) because what she has written is what I actually do in my real trading.If you want to learn about commodities (and futures trading), it's a must read book.

Take the Odds
I found this easy to read and understand. The author provides many examples with good explanations. Reward and risk are balanced for the trader to help define their own style for consistency and profits overtime.

My first commodities book
I loved to read this book! I think It is a great introduction to commodities market, and more than that, because it is really a book that gives you the tools for that market, and in that sense, i found it very useful. All markets are covered in a synthetic way with their specificites, seasonality pattern, intermarket relations, etc...However, I found the book a bit poor in position entry and exit. And I was a bit suspicious about not using stop losses, I agree that using stop loss orders can cause damage (especially in low liquidity markets), but, even if most of time I do not use stop losses on markets with low liquidity, I always have a point at which, if I asses that it's not going to recover soon, I exit the position. She recommends to use options which is quite original for day trading, I think as she is a professional trader she is used to holding the position for several time and hedge it.To summarize, this is a very good book, which I would complete with a more specialized book like gold market, oil, ...
